Chapter 107 The Thoughtful Guo Tu

The air pressure in the City Lord's Mansion became extremely low. Cheng Ji and He Zhu stood at the front and looked at each other.

Behind them, all the officials in the City Lord's Mansion had arrived.

As the most powerful City Lord's Mansion in Mufeng City, there are a total of ten fifth-grade warriors here, and most of the guards in the mansion are fourth-grade strength.

"Are all the people here?" The middle-aged man sat in the place where Tan Yuan was supposed to sit and asked Cheng Ji and He Zhu.

"Reply to Lord Guo, everyone is here..." Cheng Ji replied weakly.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's sharp eyes swept across the people in the hall, and he slowly stood up.

"My name is Guo Tu, I am the Tiger Seal Constable of Chengtian Mansion, responsible for investigating the Bai family's murder case."

"Everyone present, has anyone seen where your city lord went?"

After Guo Tu asked, everyone present fell silent and no one answered.

Seeing this, Guo Tu chuckled.

"Hehe~"

"Since the city lord is not here, from today on, all matters of Mufeng City will be managed by me."

"I will not leave until the destruction of the Bai family and the disappearance of the city lord are investigated~~"

"I also ask all my colleagues to cooperate with my work~~"

Guo Tu said slowly.

Although he said the word "please", his tone was unquestionable.

"Yes..."

Due to his status and strength, everyone could only pinch their noses and obey.

Chengtian Mansion, located in the east of Mufeng City, is responsible for managing dozens of cities including Mufeng City.

And the Tiger Seal Constable is a special organization in Tianyue Country, the Demon Suppression Division.

Although it is called the Demon Suppression Division, in fact, they are responsible for more than just killing monsters. They are responsible for handling the suspenseful cases in Tianyue Country, the vicious criminals and even the spies and assassins from other countries.

The Demon Suppression Division is spread throughout the Tianyue Country and is a force that cannot be underestimated in Tianyue Country.

The members are called the head constables, and they are roughly divided into four ranks according to their strength.

The lowest rank is the wolf seal head constable, whose strength is between the fourth and fifth ranks, followed by the tiger seal head constable, which is between the sixth and seventh ranks.

The second rank is the phoenix seal head constable. There are a total of twelve people in the entire demon suppression department who have the phoenix seal, and their strength is the eighth rank.

The first rank is the dragon seal head constable, which is headed by the chief constable of the demon suppression department. Generally, the strength of the chief constables is in the ninth rank.

Guo Tu, as the tiger seal head constable, is also the seventh rank, and is also a good hand in the entire demon suppression department.

Seeing that everyone in the city lord's mansion obeyed him, he also began to make arrangements.

"Chengji, you take people to investigate in Mufeng City and look for Tan Yuan's traces, especially in the city lord's mansion. Report to me immediately if there are any doubts!"

"Maybe in your eyes, City Lord Tan is a good person, but since he disappeared at this time, I have reason to classify him as a defector from my Tianyue country!"

"Yes..." Chengji agreed.

In his heart, he still didn't want to accept the fact that Tan Yuan had defected. Tan Yuan had always taken good care of them, but he didn't dare to argue with Guo Tu.

He could only hope that Tan Yuan had something particularly important to do.

"He Zhu, bring the surviving members of the Bai family in the City Lord's Mansion here. I want to interrogate them personally."

"Yes."

After talking to the two men, Guo Tu turned to call his own men and whispered in their ears.

"Yes!!"

"All of you, follow me!"

After hearing this, several wolf seal constables shouted directly at the other people in the City Lord's Mansion.

Soon, Guo Tu was the only one left in the hall, and groups of people in the City Lord's Mansion left in all directions.

Guo Tu put his legs on the desk, leaned against the back of the chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

After a while, He Zhu walked into the hall with the remaining members of the Bai family.

"Sir, I brought all the Bai family members..."

Hearing this, Guo Tu opened his eyes and scanned the people of the Bai family below.

"Are all the Bai family members here?"

"Uh..." He Zhu's expression became unnatural, and he stuttered: "Bai Mingxue of the Bai family... and her sister Bai Xiaoqing are also missing..."

"The city lord took them away personally the day before yesterday, and they have never been seen since then..."

Guo Tu frowned.

"Bai Mingxue? Who is she in the Bai family?"

He Zhu quickly told Guo Tu the information about Bai Mingxue.

After listening, Guo Tu raised his eyebrows.

"Marrying the third prince? How interesting~"

"The Bai family got a treasure ten years ago, and then it was stolen by her father and disappeared, so she has been unwelcome for the past ten years~"

"Go and get the files about this incident ten years ago~" Guo Tu ordered He Zhu.

"Yes."

After He Zhu left, Guo Tu cast his eyes on the Bai family members present.

"Next, you answer whatever I ask~~"

His cold aura once again enveloped the whole scene.

...

After about a day and a night, the people he sent out had returned.

Pile of documents were placed on the table, and Guo Tu patiently looked through them one by one.

The more he read, the tighter his brows frowned.

"After all this time, except for that Tan Yuan, no one has seen the murderer?!"

"The dark wood coffin, the shadow of the thunder dragon that fell from the sky, the senior members of the Bai family gathered in the back mountain late at night..."

Guo Tu sorted it out roughly, but he had no clue.

Afterwards, he looked through another pile of files.

"On the day of the crime, a mysterious blonde girl came to Xiyue Inn and disappeared mysteriously after staying overnight..."

"That night, a team of patrolling guards fell into a coma for no reason and lost any memory of that night. They also found traces of monster footprints..."

"The floating light array, the defensive array of Mufeng City, stopped operating for a moment, and there were remnants of mysterious runes carved on the city wall..."

These were some abnormalities that occurred in the city on the night of the Bai family's demise. They seemed to have nothing to do with the demise of the Bai family, but Guo Tu logically linked them together.

"The floating light array is used to resist monsters, but it suddenly stopped working, and traces of monsters were found under the city wall, combined with the runes on the wall."

"This means that someone in the city lifted the array and let a monster in..."

Guo Tu began to analyze quickly.

To be able to temporarily lift such a huge array, and quietly, this person must not be an ordinary person...

But why did he let the monster in? !

"According to the description of the people in the City Lord's Mansion, Tan Yuan did not have the means to perform thunder-attributed martial arts, and the person who destroyed the Bai family was most likely a martial artist with ghostly means who could control Yin Qi, and his strength was at least seventh-grade."

"It seems that the people who fought in the Bai family were not only Tan Yuan and the murderer, but also another person or... a monster!!"

Guo Tu's eyes lit up.

"Come here!"

He shouted in a deep voice.

"Sir! What do you want!" asked the Wolf Seal Constable guarding outside.

"Go to the Bai family!"
